    I learned the struggle last night. Went to the store to stock up on HT, but they were all out. Going to try 1-2 other stores tonight, and hopefully can get my hands on some. I loved the chocolate and birthday cake. Definitely want to try the peanut butter cup, cookie dough, and red velvet

    I've only had the Oatmeal Cookie. It was decent, but nothing I'd go out of my way to purchase again. Apparently I need to try the Peanut Butter Cup.

    Oh, and all you Blue Bunny stumpers are mental. Perry's is where it's at. :p

    Lemon Cake is the underappreciated, overlooked flavor of Halo Top. Just sayin'.

    Peanut butter cup is my favorite! I also like taking chocolate or vanilla and adding pecans for crunch! :) I only have it maybe once or twice a month.

    I bought something called Arctic Zero that was right next to the Halo Top. It had less carbs so I grabbed it. It was just meh. It's edible, I I will probably finish the two pints off I bought over a couple of months, but I probably wouldn't buy it a second time.
    Has anyone tried this stuff in comparison to the Halo Top? At this point I'm guessing I just made a poor decision to not go ahead & get the Halo Top.

    I tried it a couple of weeks ago and didn't care for it. It doesn't taste like ice cream and the texture is weird. It was my favorite flavor of ice cream too - peanut butter & choc. It's been sitting in my freezer wasting away.

    Artic Zero is basically bland-flavored ice. The 'chunk' pints are acceptable because the chunks are decent, but the base is still tasteless. I'm never bothering with it again.

    Well, a friend found some in the local Walmart near where I work... Went there and they had a fresh supply. So I stocked up. Two Birthday Cakes, Two Chocolates, One Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and One Vanilla Bean.

    I'm dying to get my hands on the Cookies & Cream, Peanut Butter Cup, and the Red Velvet, but seems like these are mythical in this area..

    Going to try the local Royal Farms on my way home and see if they have either of those, either way, feels like a win to me.

    Forgive me if someone else may have mentioned this...but BEWARE *Arctic Zero*. It tastes absolutely disgusting.

    I love Halo Top, despite the price.

    Someone told me "Arctic Zero is the same thing and cheaper" so I picked up two flavors and my husband and I both thought it was nothing like HT and really disgusting. It was so bad, I tried making it into a "shake" with bananas, ice & vanilla and the overriding bizarre taste came through even then. Gross.

    gaaah sorry, I should have read everything before posting. I think Halo Top is miles and miles above Arctic Zero. SO much better...I really think if you even liked Arctic Zero a tiny, tiny bit...you will *die* a happy death trying any flavor of Halo Top :smiley:

    I love Halo Top red velvet! The mocha chocolate chip was pretty awful (too gritty of a texture) but pistachio and red velvet are delicious.

    I tried the chocolate halo top and wasn't impressed. I'm willing to try another flavor but it's $4.99 here in Alabama. Yikes!

    It's over $5 at HyVee here in Nebraska but definitely worth it if it's a treat you enjoy and savor! :)

    Mainly I bought it because the carb count was lower than Halo Top. Who knew the missing carbs would be were all the good flavor was supposed to be. I'll give HT a try, once I get rid of these.

    It was ok. It was aerated, almost like a whipped texture. Perhaps put in the back of the freezer for a few days? The flavor was spot on( I had chocolate). Ate the whole pint though, it was THAT aerated. I would get it again if I'm in need of a pork-out-episode. It doesn't trigger the excessive eating bug either.

    I tried it when it was on sale recently.

    I don't really understand why anyone likes it. I mean it doesn't taste bad but it also just isn't all that good, unless you like vaguely chocolate flavored ice.

    I like it - caramel is my favorite. But the price is off putting. A smaller market I like to go to sells it for $6.99. Across the street is a larger chain who has it on special often for three dollars less. Crazy!

    Yeah I found Walmart here sells it for $4.65, but the gas station down the road sells it for $5.99.

    I tried Red Velvet last night, and it wasnt my favorite. I will atleast be able to finish the pint, but hopefully the cookies and cream tastes amazing.

    What artificial sweetener do they use?

    Stevia and Erythritol.

    I like the plain chocolate or the cookies and cream.

    I wish we had Halo Top here! For those in the UK, the Waitrose chocolate frozen yoghurt is pretty good. The macros aren't like Halo Top, but it's still only 445 kcal for the whole tub.

    I picked up a pint of pistachio Halo Top last night, thinking I'll finally get to try it today after my bike ride. But my wife and kids ate it all while I was out on the ride. :cry:

    Ok, I got some last week.

    NOT. THAT. GOOD.

    It's no were close to Blue Bell. Or any other ice cream for that matter.

    Yes, its low calorie but with every bite I took I was wishing I had the real thing.

    I'd rather have the real stuff less often than binge on Halo Top.

    The s'mores is disappointing. It tastes coconutty, and I don't know about you, but I don't put coconut in my s'mores.
